Abstract
Interventional patient hygiene (IPH) has been defined as a comprehensive evidence-based intervention and measurement model for reducing the bioburden of both the patient and health care worker. The components of IPH are hand hygiene, oral care, skin care/antisepsis, and catheter site care. This practice form will provide evidence-based information for each of the components of IPH model and provide a strategy for the development, implementation, and monitoring of IPH protocols.
